Yes, as well as brightness there is contrast, sharpness, saturation. Also you have white balance settings, (usual choices), ISO 100 to 800 ( I've not tried low light situations yet with different iso's), not tried them all yet. from small up to 5mp 2592x1552 in quality settings + Normal fine and high (which I always keep it on) Metering modes, spot , centre and Average. self timer, geo tag, auto focus choice face detection,.

So there is plenty of manual options to experiment with. Remember it doesn't really matter how many megapixels you have or top of the range phone, at the end of the day it is still JUST a mobile phone. Pics will only be as good quality wise as the lens will allow and some photos obviously not as good as a proper camera.
[Desire General] Deleted member 2496007:
Also found that it its worth having something like picsay pro installed. Can adjust pictures exposure, brightness, contrast etc to the Nth degree.

The pictures on my desire tend to be under exposed and washed out colors regardless of camera settings. Picsay pro is fantastic at fixing them. Has some good fun features too.

Give the lite version a go. Not sue what its limitations are though.
[Desire General] doinbox:
I don't think you understand my question mate.
[Desire General] spen2:
I agree about the mega pixels. 5 is plenty unless you want to do large prints/posters. I don't agree that you say it's JUST a mobile phone. I see people use this a lot as an excuse for a deficient camera on a phone. Nokia and Sony seem to manage to put decent camera's and lenses in their top end phones, so there is no excuse IMO.
[Desire General] auldreekie:
Personally like Photoshop .com Mobile...Free on Marketplace. Maybe I favour it because I use full Photoshop CS3 on the PC to touch up photos from my dslr etc.

Mobile version has crop, straighten, change exposure values and quite a bit more. Dead easy to use too.
[Desire General] auldreekie:
Maybe I could have worded it a little better, I don't mean to say it's a crap phone, I chose this one myself and I love it. It's great in all dep'ts even the camera is reasonable but in quality terms (not composing) it's never going to beat my £1000.00 lens on my slr is it.
[Desire General] dgattenb:
On my Touch HD , it was advised to use normal mode as opposed to wide screen mode.

The reason was you have tegh same number of pixels but in wide mode they are stretched out.

Is this true on the Desire??

[Vibrant General] cbisquit:
The vibrant looks really good but I'm kind of worried about the lack of any kind of touchpad or trackball.

Does this phone really lack any ability to use mouseover or hover events? What about clicking small links on pages you can't zoom in/out, like google reader?

I'm coming from a G1 and I find myself using the trackball pretty regularly. Am I going to hate losing the fine pointer control, or do they give you some other way of achieving the same effect?
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
I've rarely everneeded the trackball on any android phone and so far it hasn't been an issue for me. This phone has the most responsive touch screen I've ever used
[Vibrant General] degeneration:
I will say there have been a few times I missed my G1s trackball, but only a few times and I managed without... Just pinch in a bit...
[Vibrant General] uwradu:
On the G1 the single biggest use of the trackball for me was to move the text cursor around while editing text, and it worked incredibly well. On the Vibrant I constantly find myself tapping around within the text field until I get the cursor after the letter I want to delete so I can backspace it. Some sort of magnifier for accurate cursor control like on the iPhone would be a very welcome addition to Android, since trackballs don't seem to be a mandated feature for devices running the OS.
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
Swype has adpad... Slide fingers from the S with the I to the symbol key...a dpad will appear....saved me a few times...buddy at ppcgeeks showed me...
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
Has anyone had good experiences with a capacitive stylus? I got an HTC one for my fiance and it was an absolute piece of crap, so I am hesitant to buy any other capacitive stylus.
[Vibrant General] bchalk:
You can drag from the S-like swype icon to the SYM icon to bring up on screen movements.

This really is a hidden, but wonderful feature.

Super helpful. I have also been missing the trackball of my G1 for text editing. This little D-pad is perfecto.

[Vibrant General] down8:
Yes, but you have to get the softkeyboard to come up of course.

[Vibrant General] laphoneuser:
+1, but I will try the Swype method mentioned below.

Not that I have a problem using Swype, but it would be nice to have that option on the other virtual keyboards as well. I like the Samsung keyboard, but it lacks any kind of arrows or cursor movement.
[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
I can't for the life of me get the d pad to come up. All I get is the line but no action... strange.
[Vibrant General] julez456:
Wrong there bucko..the Samsung keyboard also has a d-pad. Long press the Number key and the d-pad will show up. Your welcome. :D
[Vibrant General] os2baba:
Yup. Missing the track ball. Certainly needs it while editing a mistake. And zooming in to click on the right button is a pain.

ANNNOYING, 2.1 was not designed to be trackball less... topped with the Copy-pasteless gmail app and the lack of a way to turn off cellular radio and keep bluetooth, android is bleaking out on me.

No matter how many times I hit the correct spot to put the cursor, it just wouldn't get to the point i needed it to... I had to pinch, to the point where I couldn't use the site... landscape fullscreen mode saved me.

I use the anysoftkey dvorak layout.... I hate to say it, but the iPhone4 now comes with it installed by default.

The galaxy S phones should come with a virtual D pad like that of windows mobile, or fix touch cursor pointing across the board.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delirium5:
Alrighty, here we goo.

I was looking around for voice to text apps, and I came across one.. called "Tellme"

Now, I as I understand this wasn't exactly made for my LEO-usa.

BUT IT DOES WORK.

I have installed the .cab file for this app, installed it correctly the only way one could do it. Then there was a file I was told to download called NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab.zip

Framework im guessing? But I have a problem, I don't know how to install this.. its a zip file, and when I unzip the file it breaks down the cab structure into 192380192381203981203498712348971230489 freaking FILES!

How do I install a cab file that is compressed into a zip file? if you HD2 users want to try and pickup where I left off, here you go.

do a google search for "tellme for hd2" Click the result that has tmobile's forums on it.

Scroll down the forum replies till you see words and convo's regarding TELLME. and you'll notice there is two files needed, the framework, and the cab file for the app.

I got the app installed, but the NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab confuses me because its a cab file that is in a zip file..

lol, sorry if I'm sounding redundant. but damn. :D

Heres the two files, I'll attach them below.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zzyzx80:
no worries. just download the .zip file, then unzip it into the the file "NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab". next copy this file and the tellme.cab file into your phone. run the NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab first and let it install. then follow by the tellme.cab. you're done.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
yea, you have unzipped it twice, because winzip/winrar also see the .cab as a cabinet, or zip file, and opens it, when in fact that whole file is the windows mobile installer. extract the single cab file to desktop, copy it to your phone, click it in explorer on your phone.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] delirium5:
Alrighty, I tried what you said..

I got the .cab file for the NET stuff on the device, attempted installation and it failed at the end, told me to close out of apps, and clear device space?

I have a little short of 1gb of Device memory left, and task manager did not have anything running.

Is it perhaps the ROM im using? :o I'm using the Energy ROM.

I saw the black rubber case at T-Mobile and although I'm not usually fond of rubber cases, this case was a lot more sturdy and stiffer than a the traditional silicon cases. I'm considering it.

It's pretty beefy and houses the phone well. I particularly like how on the front (screen side) the edges come out to where if the phone ever were to drop face first, it would give some elevation to avoid the screen from making contact with the ground.

Has anyone seen any other cases out there for the phone? If so could you please post a link.
[Vibrant General] spigatelli:
I bought the black one, but you should look in the accessories forum.
[Vibrant General] larryccf:

[Vibrant General] iunlock:
It should be fine. Same phone. The only thing I noticed about actual cases for the Galaxy S was that for the i9000's they have a whole on the upper left of the screen, where a button? or something is exposed. I guess it's a key or button for a function. What the heck is that? haha..
[Vibrant General] master_d:
The international version of the Galaxy S has a front facing camera on the front of the screen towards the top and that's probably what the hole is for.

Hi , I should be getting a newish HD2 soon and was wondering if there was any updated FAQ/Guides.

I've been looking at forum but there is loads of conflicting info about HSPL and SPL etc as everything seems to be out of date.

I'm used to flashing on my HD1 and have never really needed to worry about HSPL getting overwritten or a SPL stopping me from flashing HSPL so would appreciate somebody pointing me in right direction so I don't fluck up my phone or ability to flash via SD card.

And yes I have searched but there is a abundance of outdated/conflicting data and I just wanna be sure before I start flashing that im not going by outdated info/methods etc.

I got my dash to finally kick on and the screen is working now. The only thing is that the keys on the leftside of the dash take some force when pushed to get results. Is there any way to fix this without taking apart the dash? or is there another way to disassemble the dash without purchasing other tools?
[HTC Excalibur] Frostmoon:
There is a guide in the sticky thread on the front page of this forum, that is the only way to disassemble the dash. Make sure there isn't a ton of dust or a sticky substance in the keys on the left side. If you need to push hard to get the keys to move down then they're out of their socket and the only way to reset them in their groove is to take apart the dash.

hey folks,

i need some direction with a particular problem...

check out the attached screenshots. why is the "android system" percentage so high?? i'm still in my learning stages, so i'm not sure how i can get rid of some of the processes, which i know are seriously harping on my battery life (which is great, but it can be much better, ya know?)..

any help would be appreciated! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychopsilocin:
It's so high because you were probably using your phone for the two minutes it was unplugged. Therefore, android system took up the majority of the battery used so far (which might be next to nothing since it was only two minutes).
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
Get a good task manger. You can exclude apps you want running and kill ones you don't. Also, there's a lot of battery optimization in rooted roms.

well, unplugged, it's usually 30-40% anyway. that's waaaay too high, especially since i keep hearing it being 2-3% here on the forums.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
Ok, lots of searching did not have a decent answer, and lots of trial and error seems to have worked.

I needed to get my contacts from my AT&T (Raphael/Fuze) sim card to my new Evo. (I totally walked out of store without them doing this.)

There is no software to do this. (No, I do not have outlook installed and they were on my sim card anyway, not in contacts as I have completely lost my contacts in past...but sim contacts stayed. Wasn't about to tempt that fate again.)

So...easy way...and it is easy...

Go to contacts and use the Menu option to Select Contacts and select all.

Then go to Send Contact and only option I had was beam. (What the heck see what that was.)

This actually sets up a bluetooth beam, but you have to get Evo ready for it.

Turn on Evo, turn on bluetooth

Press the Menu non-button to get Settings option

Select Wireless & networks

Go to Bluetooth settings and make the device discoverable.

Then the two phones find each other.

On the Rapheal there was a 'Tap Here' or something option when it discovered the Evo.

The Evo asked for a code...I just guessed and went with 0000.

Then the Raphael asked for a code and I guessed again at 0000.

Then the transfer started.

I got A TON OF messages...because I got one for every contact (each was a .vcf file).

This is where things get a bit blurry...but I think I tapped on one of the announcements and was asked if I wanted to do something to it with People (or some other file.)

I guessed I wanted it in People so tapped that on the Evo.

Then it popped up a list asking if just that one or all of them. I said all of them.

And voila...all 45 contacts were on my Evo!!! WOO HOO.

Oh...and yes there was one or two that were techically 'Contacts' with a picture..and looks like the pic came across. Have to see what it looks like in a moment...as I wanted to jot my notes before I forgot.

So there you go...that has to be one of the coolest uses I have attempted of bluetooth. (My stereo headset at gym just isn't as cool as beaming data across phones!!!)
